A new method for estimating effective population sizes from a single sample of multilocus genotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Equations for the effective size (N(e)) of a population were derived in terms of the frequencies of a pair of offspring taken at random from the population being sibs sharing the same one or two parents. Based on these equations, a novel method (called sibship assignment method) was proposed to infer N(e) from the sibship frequencies estimated from a sibship assignment analysis, using the multilocus genotypes of...
